Iceage - Plowing into the Field of Love
Probably my favorite guitar band right now. Unbelievable stuff and really consistent (including the VAR releases). They aren't afraid to do something different and really put their own mark on the post-punk sound.

I'm pretty sure there's a paradox there. Maybe they aren't afraid to do something different and really put their own mark on the neo-post-punk sound. Not much of an innovation on their band's name, certainly...

Sev, what did you think of Flylo saying he should have been on Yeezus?

I think he's paid Ye a massive compliment. FlyLo has a pretty high opinion of himself, much like Kanye, so I feel fine about it. I've always believed that if Kanye was going to experiment with producers & beat makers other than himself, Flying Lotus is one of the few living souls who would be up to the task.

That said, he's wrong. And even though his version of "New Slaves" is (possibly) as good if not better than the album mix, Yeezus is perfect as it is. If it came out any other way, the chances of it being less than perfect would grow, no matter what was added or taken away.

I do hope they work together in the future, because they could create some extraordinary music together. But I prefer Kanye's own production 9 times out of 10 to anyone else's, especially on his straight up solo records.

I was talking about post-punk in general (with all those copycat fuckers), but ya I see what you're saying

Oh yeah I know- I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. I just finally gave the album a thorough listen and I found myself thinking more of Nick Cave than of Wire (and I'd referenced Wire myself in previous posts, so I was really correcting myself, not you)

Sorry if that all came out wrong. I was just making an observation, about the sound of the album. Sorry bout that.

three very languid offcuts from their classic work (work work) LP, descending back into the narco haze after the clarity of psychic 9-5 club. what a fucking band.
